India maintained a strong lead in the Colombo Test, reducing Sri Lanka to 265/8 by the end of the third day despite a resilient 85-run knock from Sonal Dinusha.
Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar led the Indian bowling attack, claiming three wickets each for 47 and 83 runs respectively to keep the hosts 238 runs behind.
Play was halted early due to rain and fading light, with Sri Lanka trailing India's first-innings total of 503/9 declared as they fight to avoid a heavy defeat.
